Clover as code coverage tool to run on remote system.

I want attach a code coverage tool against code that can be executed on remote systems which can provide metrics on a regular basis, either at build time or weekly. Also it should be automated within Jenkins jobs either triggered at build time, deploy time or at some regular interval.

Please advice whether we are capable of measuring the code coverage of the remote Application in this case using Clover.

Could you please specify what do you mean by "executed on remote systems". I'm asking, because Clover supports measuring code coverage of distributed applications, but I'd like to ensure that we have the same understanding of the "remote" term.

Clover must run during a build in order to measure code coverage and to generate reports. You can later access these reports at any time. Some customers also integrate Clover with Sonar.
